To a degree, that's on the coach.

If year after year it's "well, these guys got injured..." then you aren't developing players enough. Organizations that have a lot of stability usually get bit by the injury bug less — in my opinion — because the organization knows what it has year in, year out. Even if they aren't necessarily winning big, they still have decent seasons because it didn't hang on one or two players staying healthy. Steelers, Ravens, Bengals (Marvin Lewis era), Pats, GB, etc. 

But I agree, Fisher wasn't that bad. I live in the Titans market. He had some very solid seasons with some decent teams. And he has a lot of football knowledge. My only knock was it didn't seem like he got the best out of everyone at the same time. The Titans would have good stretches where most people were playing solid, and then small stretches where it seemed like no one had a clue what they were doing.
